Releases: mcmonkeyprojects/KeyboardChatterBlocker
1.07: Auto-Disable When Chosen Programs Are Open
Added: #11 - automatically disable the chatter blocker when certain programs (like a game) are open. This adds a list of programs (by process name) that can be configured via the interface or via the config file. When any program in that list is actively running (per the Windows process list, akin to the one found the in "Details" view of task manager), the chatter blocker will automatically be disabled until that program is closed. The interface will display a red highlighted notice when a program has caused it to disable, and will also highlight which program(s) are responsible.
1.06: Add An Installer
Added: #9 - Add a windows installer. You now have the option to download a .msi
installer that will automatically install the program into Program Files, and redirect the config file to %localappdata%
. The program otherwise works the same. You can still download the direct .exe
file to run out of any local folder if preferred.
1.05: Mouse Interception
Added: #8 - ability to block mouse button presses. You can now block chatter from Left, Right, Middle, Forward, and Backwards mouse buttons.
Mouse buttons will ignore the global chatter limit: they will only be blocked if you explicitly add them.
If no mouse buttons are blocked, the internal mouse intercept will not be registered with the Windows API to avoid accidentally introducing input lag when you don't need it.
Be careful if you block the left mouse button... it might make double-clicking a bit difficult (if you accidentally screw up and can't control anything because you blocked left clicks too hard, just uncheck the Enabled
box... or, if needed, use Task Manager to kill the blocker and then edit the config file).
1.04: Patch Instantaneous Key Support
Fixed: Issue #6 - special custom keys can achieve 0ms fake-press rates and were mistreated as chatter.
1.03: Easier Addition of Odd Keys Like Tab
Added: any key that appears in chatter log now has an [Edit]
button that, when double clicked, adds it to the configured key list and jumps to that link in the "Configure Keys" tab (note that even keys not specifically customized will still appear in this log if the Global Chatter Threshold is low enough to catch it).
This was suggested in issue #4 as a solution to the question of how to add non-letter keys (such as the Tab key) to the configure list.
1.02: Minor Patch
Fixed: Issue #2 "Column sorting not working correctly"
1.0.1: Minor Patch
Fixed: Program was visible in Alt-Tab when theoretically hidden to system tray
Fixed: Program was preventing Windows safe shutdown when in the system tray
